The Grove, Snakes, and my mother
I spent a good chunk of yesterday morning at the Grove working on the library and moving filing cabinets and tv’s on my own. It was surprisingly quiet (everyone was at free spirit or gay pride day), I was alone until about 11 when one guy showed up, and at 12 when another guy showed up with a pizza. But I felt good about all the work I got done, and that I was able to be there for the two visitors to spend time in the spiritual sanctuary.
My uncle decided to get two dozen guinea hen eggs to hatch. He doesn’t plan to keep him, he just wants to see if he can hatch them, and give them to us once he does. We’ll be keeping a dozen and giving another dozen to Highland Farms (assuming they hatch) as a donation to help with their tick problem.
My father found a 7 foot blacksnake in our rabbit cook this morning, and it had apparently eaten our pigeon eggs and peacock egg. We have a few around our property as I’ve mentioned before, but they usually keep the mice and rats down by the animal pens at bay. My dad caught it and took it down the road a ways to let it go in a field. Hopefully we won’t have any others making a meal out of our eggs anytime soon.
I found out my mother somehow got her job back at Northrup Grumman. I don’t know if this means that she is no longer going to school to get her law degree, or perhaps she gave up on it now that she has joint custody of my sister? Or perhaps she’s doing it to make herself look good again because she knew she would never get full custody working part time for $8/hour while living with her father for free?
Whatever the case, I have no doubt she has a ridiculous motive behind it.
